The Shut-In Witch and the Romantic Thief

Potions, magic, and curses?

People believe that evil witches bring disaster.

"All the witches in the neighboring kingdom have been burned to death."

She had heard the news long ago.

But Louisa the witch only wanted to stay home, read books, and grow flowers.

Would people really leave Louisa alone just because she kept to herself?

Then one day, someone pounded open her little wooden door, and angry people stormed into her tiny world.

They brought fire, and they brought light.

That was sunlight, and moonlight.
